Get Involved

CTC actively encourages participation from people of all ages and experience. We would love you to consider auditioning for one of our upcoming shows or to reach out to see other ways that you can become involved.

Following the success of our Summer School productions of Matilda in 2018 and Little Mermaid in 2019, we are excited to return with Bugsy Malone in 2021. The Summer School provides a unique experience for young performers to work intensively with theatre professionals, developing and crafting their skills. This culminates in a number of performances at The Great Hall, allowing our young performers to experience an immersive professional production.

Our 2021 Summer School production of Bugsy Malone is aimed at those aged between 9 -16 years, at the time of audition.

Please check back soon when we have more information about the 2021 audition dates.

Our annual young company project aims to develop the talents of young performers working alongside a creative team of theatrical professionals. The project starts with an intense week of rehearsals at the end of the summer holidays, followed by rehearsals every Friday evening and Sunday daytime. This results in a week of shows at The Great Hall at The Leys.

Previous productions include: Les Misérables, School Audition (2017) West Side Story (2018) Chicago, School Edition (2019)

There is currently no 2020 Young Company production this year. More information will be released soon for next year and available audition dates.

CTC has continued to stay abreast of developments relating to the coronavirus and the possible timescales for the lifting of restrictions. At present, there is no confirmation of when the current situation will alter but it would appear that theatres will certainly be one of the last venues to escape social distancing.

Due to the nature of our productions, we have to plan at least 6 months in advance and we are therefore faced with making some very difficult decisions. We are hopeful that things will improve but obviously, we must continue to place the safety of both our performers and audiences at the heart of our decision. Following consultation with the Trustees, we have decided to postpone all 2020 productions.

We appreciate that this is incredibly disappointing and whilst we would like to delay making this decision, we feel that we must be prudent and sensible. Our plan is that we will reschedule shows where possible in 2021.

During difficult times, we know that theatre provides an escape and we are devastated that we are effectively having to cancel an entire year of shows, however, our resolve remains unwavering.

We will be back – bigger and better. In the meantime, please stay safe and take care.
